Emily Clemen’s situation has brought her to Eric Twyford. Emily is a teacher but it doesn’t pay enough so she has offered to pose for some scandalous pictures to earn some more money. Eric, a photographer, is more than happy to help her out. They embark on a business relationship but it evolves into something more.
Emily is a sensible girl. Being an orphan with no family to help her, she does what she can to help herself including posing for naughty pictures. It is surprising to her that she can let go of her inhibitions so easily. Of course, it is made easier by her attraction to Eric. He tries to keep everything on a business level but he can’t resist the growing feelings he has for her. Emily needs to decide whether she wants to be just a “mistress” or a “wife”. Her decision takes this couple on another path and it becomes almost torturous as we wait for them to come together again. Eric and Emily are a great couple but it takes awhile before they find their “happily ever after”.
MISTRESS is a fascinating story with some nice twists. It gives readers a good idea of what life was like in those days. Women did not have a lot of choices – very unfair – and it makes me glad that I’m not living in those days. MISTRESS contains lots of erotic action as well as romance. It should not be considered just an “erotic” book but a historical romance infused with eroticism.
